stick around for "Paula Deen's Chickpea Mash", not that radical Islamic hummus.

thus ending any chance they have for further office I would assume.... The crazies have taken over the local GOP across the country. It's very easy to become a party delegate and insider nowadays. I became one 10 years ago and the only thing I had to do was send in a notarized document. The party contacted me and did all the work. I went to one meeting at a Ram's Horn and the cast of characters even back then was disturbing. Like a Bill Burr joke.... "when a redneck lowers his voice and starts to look around.... run"

Aren't the railroads responsible for security on their railroads since it's their property? If I did business with a storage company that was always being broken into and my stuff stolen then I would expect them to do something about it or I would find another storage solution. Railroads are not public property. When a city or county wants to build a road through a crossing it's up to the public to do the infrastructure. That was the deal the US Gov't made with them in order for them to agree to build the rails at their own cost.

corporate wide we use Webex. A major supplier recently let their WebEx contract expire so they use Teams. I hate it. It takes forever to load up on the browser version. Another uses Zoom which is fine. But I am spoiled by the WebEx integration.

Mike Cox is a dem? Do you know who he is and who is wife is/was?

I recall when the gas prices hit bottom in 2020 the guy who lost had the oil execs in his office that is oval shaped and he was wiping their tears and promising they would help them. Fox News wasn’t bragging about low gas prices for some reason.

Came across these three

What I love about the “wage being wiped out by inflation” argument is it ignores fixed costs. I would say that 70% of what I spend each month are for things that do not fluctuate.. like mortgages, car payments, insurance, etc.

They were going after Carhart this week too. I don’t remember why but it was understandably stupid and ignorant.

Like some fat ass MAGA hat wearing goofball is going to stop buying the shareable pack of peanut butter M&M’s and eating the whole package while wearing his too small NFL jersey this weekend watching the playoffs. The same NFL he claimed he’d quit watching because of their wokeness.

More democrats opposed it than supported it in congress. Yes Clinton signed it but many of his party didn’t like it. It was a Republican initiative and as a guy presenting himself as a New Democrat Clinton signed it. I don’t hold it against him. But it definitely wasn’t a Democratic Party push.

Gillette did this a few years ago with a commercial telling young men to not be jerks. The pseudo macho right wingers saw it as another data point for the pussification of the male species.

They did it because they knew the snowflakes like Tucker and other right wing nut jobs would get triggered and devote airtime to their product. It’s advertising. Genius move by Mars.

Is that real? I thought it was satire

I believe at some point in the 90s the Greek Orthodox and RCC resolved their differences and each can now receive communion from each other. Also revoked their blanket excommunications.

We were saved by less than 25 people. I recall these discussions at the time and being very worried that some no name election official appointed to some county or state board that nobody paid attention to could disrupt something we think is just a formality. Yes Pence did the right thing at the time.... but what would have played out if he didn't? What if he stood up there and rejected the ballots? Even if he didn't have the technical authority. What would have been the process to carry on with the vote? We can sit here and say "They can't do that" but like so many things with Trump he will still do that.

I saw an article that says the Tigers have 3 prospects among the top 100. That doesn't seem like a lot considering the shape they've been in the last 6 years. With 30 teams everyone should have at least 3, statitically speaking.

I seriously don't think you understand what the word obstruction means.

hopefully she's been arrested already?

and many of them will die trying. I don't like the idea of in any way giving someone an excuse to avoid a vaccine.

so by your logic any investigation can be thwarted if the target just obstructs since the focus of the investigation wasn't originally obstruction. The follows the Trump and GOP playbook to just ignore all inquiries and let things burn out and say "it's old news now, you got nothing"

was also the only time a member of a president's own party voted for conviction.
